Review article shows that in psoriasis pts, adding #MTX to TNFi increases efficacy, but there is limited data on adding MTX to either IL-17 or IL-23. But in Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), adding MTX provides no added efficacy compared to biologic monotherapy buff.ly/Mm1hnHT

Case-control study aimed to identify optimal PJP prophylaxis schedule in patients with rheumatic diseases. Tapering GCs with 12.5 mg/day of prednisone equivalent could be a reasonable timepoint to initiate withdrawal of PJP prophylaxis A&R doi.org/10.1002/art.43…

Secukinumab fails in GCA phase 3 RCT. Novartis announced top-line results from the GCAptAIN study evaluating secukinumab in adults with newly diagnosed or relapsing GCA. In a steroid taper RCT, the endpoint was sustained remission at Wk 52 compared to placebo

🌸 Malar rash + joint pain? Think Lupus. Check: ANA ✅, anti-dsDNA 🧬, complements 💧, urinalysis 🧪. Don’t miss the differentials — rosacea, dermatomyositis, seborrheic dermatitis. Early diagnosis = better outcomes. #MedTwitter #LupusAwareness Dr Ihab Suliman Dr. Akhil 🇮🇳

Are we putting the CAR-T before the horse? CAR T-cells have been a revolutionary development in rheumatology. We have seen a population of patients with severe refractory autoimmune conditions almost overnight presented with the prospect of not just improvement, but of a cure.
